Re: Your Central Park Memories

I've sent my recollections of my first ever visit to Central Park to 'wigan1872@gmail.com'
Now I'm thinking of all the thousands of other games I've seen there.

Re: Michael Buffer and Super League are match made in Wigan as ring legend signs up for new job

It'll cost an arm and a leg to haul this character ac ross the Atlantic, no doubt first class flights and hotel and he won't put one extra backside on a seat at the game. Waste of money!.

Re: Wigan Warriors win prestigious Team of the Year honour as success recognised

I recall it being called the 'Ward Cup', probably sponsored by Wardonia razor blades who advertised their product in the centre pages of the programme, between the two nominated sides playing on that day. Always the first game of the season and alternating with Warrington only. (When a programme cos...

Re: Rohan Smith's Leeds Rhinos future unclear as player pressure ramps up

It looks like Gary Heatherington is stepping down, or up to boardroom level 1, so that leaves the field open for Sinfield and uncle Tony. G H is definitely moving up though so there is a poison chalice of a job for someone there.

Hey Meds, I'm certain he took British Nationality several years ago, but you're right, it's time to call it quits.

Re: Excuse me Mr Rooney!

You know, Morley, you are so right. I'm nigh on 85 and lived every minute in Billinge On the rare occasion I meet my old Billinger mates in the pub, we always use the dialect. It's concerning to know that people listening to us don't understand a word and they invariably are 50 or more years old and...

Re: Oliver gildart

At least, when and if he does come back to Leigh or some other club, he'll be one of a few who didn't come back injured. Of the top of my head I can think of John Bateman, Sam Tomkins, Lee Mossop, Dan Sarginson, Joe Burgess, Denis Betts and Tommy Leului. All came back needing long term treatment. Th...
